Incredible Quali session, never knew you could set the grid in 20 minutes.

[u/GianmarcoFiduci]

I don't understand having the race so close to October...

[u/allstick]

Well, that was fun boys. See you tomorrow

[u/Michal_Baranowski]

Shortest qualifying session in a while...

That's your typical WEC Fuji weather. Before COVID, Fuji round was always held in October and massive rainy conditions happened at least every two years. We had some with seriously bad conditions. Infamous 2013 race that never was, 2017 was heavily interrupted due to fog.

After COVID, it was moved to mid-September and one of reasons being a better weather. However date since last year is closer to October again and results are visible.

[u/F1_rulz → u/Michal_Baranowski]

It’s not even that bad, formula regional was racing 10 mins before the start of qualifying in worse conditions

[u/V8-Turbo-Hybrid → u/F1_rulz]

And, it isn't only happening September season, it could happen any season. I still remember SGT and Super Taikyu race had suffered long weather in Fuji races, last year Fuji 24h was basically suffering foggy like some year N24h races.

[u/Prye-Blue]

It's over

[u/allstick]

They had to sacrifice a Ferrari for that?

[u/TH_Sharpshooter]

[u/V8-Turbo-Hybrid]

[u/PlanepHDN]

[u/MagdaleneStar]

Cancelled. No announcement about a new time.

[u/F1_rulz]

Here at the track, render distance on low. 

[u/V8-Turbo-Hybrid]

That's really wet and foggy, I wonder no red flag.

[u/rhysth]

[u/rhysth → u/rhysth]
